Any seniors remember the saying?

I remember most of those mentioned hear.

but the one I remember most is

Sticks and stones may break my bones,

but whips and chains excite me.

He didn't change the laws. He fulfilled them. The laws in the OT were given to the Jewish nation. Not to any other people. They were part of a covenant or contract between the Jews and Jehovah God. They were to be his people. Sadly they disobeyed and actually rebelled against God. Finally they killed God's own son. By killing God's son they brought an end to the laws and the contract they had with Jehovah. Before Jesus died he made a new covenant or contract with all his faithful followers no matter what race or nation they were. This was established first with Jesus' apostles on the night of the last supper. Jesus gave us two laws to follow. To love God with all your heart, soul and mind and to love your neighbor as yourself. If you obey these two laws then you would not be breaking any of the others. You have already answered your own question by posting the verses in Matthew. Read those verses again. 1. He fulfilled the laws. When you fulfill something then it is done is it not? You fulfill a contract means you completed that contract. The laws were to be obeyed until the messiah came. Jesus was the messiah. NOTE: What does Paul tell the Roman congregation? Rom. 7:6, 7: “Now we have been discharged from the Law, because we have died to that by which we were being held fast . . . What, then, shall we say? Is the Law sin? Never may that become so! Really I would not have come to know sin if it had not been for the Law; and, for example, I would not have known covetousness if the Law had not said: ‘You must not covet.’” (Here, immediately after writing that Jewish Christians had been “discharged from the Law,” what example from the Law does Paul cite? The Tenth Commandment, thus showing that it was included in the Law from which they had been discharged.)

I remember mean kids in the neighborhood saying" Your mother wears Army boots" when they wanted to put someone down. Good grief, now mothers really do wear Army boots!

I also remember every night a little ditty my mother and I said to each other as she tucked me in. She would say" I love you," I would reply, " a bushel and a peck" and she would finish off with " a hug around the neck". That saying has stayed with me always and brings fond memories of my mom and some of the comforting and simple rituals of my childhood..

I have a boyfriend Patty, he cames from Cincinnati

with forty-eight toes and a pickle on his nose and that's the way my story goes, one day as I was walking I heard my boyfriend talking, to a little dutch girl with the strawberry curls and this is what he said to her, I L O V E you, I K I S S, kiss you, I K I S S, kiss you on the F A C E, face, face, face!

My parents were full of these little homilies. Really annoying when they said:

'Thought thought he had crossed the road, but thought hadn't and thought got run over'.

'You're so sharp you'll cut yourself'.

'Bullies are cowards'.

'Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit'.

'Your mother is your best friend'.

'The devil makes work for idle hands'.

'Keep quiet it is better to be silent and thought to be a fool than opening your mouth and confirming it'

It was like living with walking dictionaries, drove me up the wall. I have a seriously sarcastic sense of humour. Wonder why!! ;-)

"I know you are, but what am I?"

"I have a bone to pick with you"

"Cool your jets!"

"There's more than one way to skin a cat"

"Let me show you a little trick I learned in Egypt"

"....the whole kit and kaboodle"

"Here goes nothing"

While playing hopscotch or jacks:

One, two, buckle my shoe;

Three, four, shut the door;

Five, six, pick up sticks;

Seven, eight, lay them straight;

Nine, ten, a good fat hen;

Eleven, twelve, dig and delve;

Thirteen, fourteen, maids a-courting;

Fifteen, sixteen, maids in the kitchen;

Seventeen, eighteen, maids in waiting;

Nineteen, twenty, my plate's empty.

I remember this one very well! I even used it in raising my 2 children and in my classroom!

It solved many problems here at home and at school over the years!

Yes. Then it was "Children should be seen and not heard" Parents had a way of adding a year on your age if they wanted you to do something..and knocking two off if you wanted to go out.

What goes up must come down.

What you see is what you get

Tag, you're it!

May all your wishes come true except one.

May fortune smile upon you always and all ways.

Be careful you may get what you ask for.

Get down from that tree, you want to break your neck!
